You should be aware that as an Australian company with securities listed on the ASX, the Company is required to report reserves and resources in Australia in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code 2004 Edition ) (JORC Code). Mining companies in other countries may be required to report their mineral reserves and/or resources in accordance with other guidelines (for example, SEC Industry Guide 7 in the United States). You should note that while the Company's reserve and resource estimates comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries, and do not comply with SEC Industry Guide 7, which governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements and certain reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, SEC Industry Guide 7 does not recognise classifications other than proven and probable reserves, and, as a result, the SEC generally does not permit mining companies to disclose their mineral resources in SEC registration statements. You should not assume that quantities reported as “resources” will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that the Company will

Recent Exploration Success
• All assay results from the 34 RC holes drilled in 2010 and the 28 trenches undertaken in 2011 have been received
• Trenching at Tanduma and RC holes at Matala West and Eclipse has identified additional West and Eclipse has identified additional Matala style mineralisation
These results indicate the potential for very significant additions to the existing Matala resource
• Trenching at Chosa and Shadreck has identified shallow high-grade gold values similar to Dunrobin
In both cases, mineralisation is open on-

Project Development
• Luiri has adopted a two-pronged approach to project development:
Luiri Hill Gold Project
Fast Track Development
• Fast tracked development of an 8,000 oz per annum project
• The project objective is to provide sufficient positive cash flow to finance an ongoing exploration and full development study program
Luiri Hill Gold Project
Exploration Targeting 1 million ounces of Gold
• Exploration to grow the resource beyond 1 million ounces
• A resource of this size would support a world class mining and processing operation of 80,000 – 100,000 ounces of gold per annum

development study program
• The project would be designed to be up gradable to achieve a minimum production of 80,000 oz per annum
• Satisfy Zambian stakeholders desire for early project development
ounces of gold per annum
Potential Fast Track to Production
� Scoping level studies have been initiated for development of a 10,000 tons per month mining and processing operation:
Production would be ~8,000 oz per annum at a head grade of ~2.5g/t
Metallurgical plant engineering and cost study awarded to Consulment Metals Pty Ltd of Johannesburg in December 2011. Consulment has appropriate experience in the design and fast‐track construction of modular plants for gold recovery
